No he didn't.
He should have focused on that.
That's not what he did.
He let the cruise industry continue running.
He didn't make himself the bad guy and restrict international travel, which is where a lot of our initial cases came from.
He didn't work on getting our citizens back and into quarantine.
He just denied the virus was a big deal... just like one of his "good friends".

Trump's biggest blunder in this is not being prepared, IMO. Our testing is pitifully lacking. We made strides today, but this should have been done months ago.
ETA We are at 2269 cases. Tuesday morning we were at 755. I have a feeling the 2269 will more than double by mid-week.

I take no joy in being "right", i just want people to wake up (not directed at u AU) That being said- we doubled in the last 30 hours or so. That means MAD infected un-diagnosed out there bc they are still only testing like 50 per state a day average.
Be smart people. In Italy they have like 250 deaths per day now. That means in 8-10 days we will have that. and really, we will have like 12 Italys if we are being real.
It's a damn shame we didnt start ordering all these tests and gear and respirators back in January!
Now, what can we do? Stay in with your family, wash up tons, practice common germ awareness, etc. And, don't be an actual hoarder- show some restraint if you find supplies.

what are the real numbers then? In order to make your 500k numbers work, it has to be around 2 million.
No one knows what the real numbers were because authoritarian regimes aren’t gonna give out that info. Somehow, You still seem skeptical about that idea.
The number would be 3.4x worse than 500k if going by WHO numbers. Ask the experts how they settled on their estimates.

It's a virus, u are going to get it eventually. Shutting the world down and panicking like a loon is crazy...
If you are sickly, older or have health issues stay home and have a friend drop you off groceries etc.
Just don't understand this wide spread panic life still has to go on and this acting crazy isn't helping anyone, if people refuse to work there will be some major issues...
Wear a damn mask and wash your hands if your that serious

Politics, media pressure and most importantly...fear of plaintiff lawyers.. so we can thank the media..the democrats.. but again the schools and their attorneys and insurance companies folded their tents in fear mostly of plaintiff lawyers

But absolutely no fear of spreading a deadly disease that is currently crushing northern Italy, am I right? Y’all are a bunch of litigation obsessed loons.

Using your logic, it’s not helpful to have available paramedics, nurses, doctors, and hospital beds.

Is Covid-19 really 10X deadlier than the common Flu?
Before you snap back with claims that I'm an idiot, please follow my logic or lack of logic if you feel that way
The Common Flu is widely tested for and we have very accurate info on the Common Flu, but with Covid-19 the only people that have been tested so far are the worst of the worst and the most at-risk groups
Is it possible that if Covid-19 was as widely tested and analyzed as the Common Flu then the mortality rates would be a lot more even or equalized between those 2 viruses?
The paranoia surrounding this Covid-19 is akin to analyzing shooting incidents only on the Southside of Chicago rather than Nationwide throughout the entire the USA
Is my logic unfair, too simplistic?
I believe that if we had more wide scale testing, the amount of chaos, paranoia, and interruption of our normal lives would be a lot less than it is now

only time will tell. Death rates from the flu are less than 1%. Right now the death rate is 7% worldwide from this funk.

That’s the estimate that it will fall to by the experts. Could be more or less. It’s recently been considered 34x moreso by the WHO.
China and Italy certainly make it seem plausible.

If he hired a bunch of yes men, perhaps they are only saying what they think he wants to hear, which isn’t worth much. If what the chinstrapped cdc guy said about drive thru testing is any indication of their advice to trump, it’s pure trash.

Does this really appear to be a yes man?
Robert R. Redfield, MD, is the 18th Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Administrator of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. He has been a public health leader actively engaged in clinical research and clinical care of chronic human viral infections and infectious diseases, especially HIV, for more than 30 years.
He served as the founding director of the Department of Retroviral Research within the U.S. Military’s HIV Research Program, and retired after 20 years of service in the U.S. Army Medical Corps. Following his military service, he co-founded the University of Maryland’s Institute of Human Virology with Dr. William Blattner and Dr. Robert C. Gallo and served as the Chief of Infectious Diseases and Vice Chair of Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
Dr. Redfield made several important early contributions to the scientific understanding of HIV, including the demonstration of the importance of heterosexual transmission, the development of the Walter Reed staging system for HIV infection, and the demonstration of active HIV replication in all stages of HIV infection.
In addition to his research work, Dr. Redfield oversaw an extensive clinical program providing HIV care and treatment to more than 5,000 patients in the Baltimore/Washington, D.C. community.
Dr. Redfield served as a member of the President’s Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS from 2005 to 2009, and was appointed as Chair of the International Subcommittee from 2006 to 2009.

Sweet silver goodness. I didn't realize all those late 70s going on. Come on democrats, freshen up a bit. Let's get some young boomers who can make a decision that looks ahead 30 years instead of all these knee-jerks from the blue hairs that are worried about surviving this year.
